SeleFla: Flamengo have sent most players to Brazil national team | OneFootball

Survey by the Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation (RSSSF) Highlights Flamengo's Strong Presence in the Canarinho

The Brazilian National Team is preparing to face Chile with a player from Flamengo among the call-ups. This is because Samuel Lino was called up by Carlo Ancelotti to replace the injured Matheus Cunha. Thus, the inclusion of the athlete further increased the presence of the red-black team in the history of the Amarelinha.

According to the survey by the Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation (RSSSF), Flamengo is the team with the highest number of players provided to the Brazilian National Team. The data shows 138 Flamengo players in the Canarinho team in official matches, which includes games inside and outside the World Cups.

What is the top 10 ranking?

The list counts the players by the number of clubs they represented while in the Brazilian National Team. Thus, each athlete is counted for each team they played for during the call-up period. Therefore, if an individual played for several teams throughout their career, they are counted in each one.

Flamengo in the World Cup?

When the criterion is restricted only to players provided for World Cup editions, however, Flamengo drops a few positions in the ranking. Thus, 35 Flamengo players have been called up for the World Cups. The leader of the ranking, however, is Botafogo, with 47 athletes provided for the competition.

When does Samuel Lino play for the Brazilian National Team?

With Samuel Lino available, the Brazilian National Team faces Chile at Maracanã, at 9 PM (Brasília time) this Thursday (04). Following that, next Tuesday (09), Carlo Ancelotti's team visits Bolivia, in El Alto. The match starts at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).
